Enterprise for the Modern Age – Digital transformation depends on successful convergence of information systems and cloud computing infrastructure with a security posture that makes it all work across the breadth of a higher education institution (not just central IT).

Student Centered Institution – The digital student experience affects learners across the life cycle with the institution, shaping how they are recruited, educated, retained, and engaged. How do institutional IT processes and practices enable and empower the core academic mission of teaching, learning, research, and scholarship? This track invites presentations from a range of topics including digital learning, learning technologies and space design, online and blended learning, digital credentials, research computing, accessibility and universal design, and mobile learning,

Technology Buzz – We will continue to see an accelerated rate of digitization and virtualization of education, business and society. What emerging technologies, innovative projects, pilots, and initiatives are moving your organization forward? Sessions in this track can include but are not limited to emerging technologies (artificial intelligence, chatbots, IoT and smart devices, virtual reality, augmented reality), innovative use of technologies, product roadmaps, and digital transformation efforts.
